Before we believe in Christ, our nature was evil.
We disobeyed, rebelled, & ignored God (even at our best, we didnt love HIM with all our heart, soul & mind).
The Christian, however, has a new nature. God has crucified the old rebellious nature (Rm6) & replaced it with a new loving nature (Col3).
The penalty of sin died with Christ on the cross. God has declared us not guilty, and we need no longer live under sin's power.
God doesnt take us out of the world or make us robots--we still feel like sinning, & sometimes we will sin. The difference is that before we were saved. We were slaves to our sinful nature; but now we are free to life for Christ (Gal2).
